Abstract
The title inclusion compound [{NH2(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH2NH2}2H][Cu4(CN)7] was obtained as single crystals from an aqueous solution containing CuCN, KCN, andN-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2/n,a = 12.3829(9),b = 8.5970(9),c = 12.6633(7) Å, β = 109.984(5)°,z = 2,R = 0.035 for 2921 independent reflections. The inclusion structure is composed of the hydrogen-bonded dimeric onium guest [{NH2(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH2NH2}2H]3+ and the negatively-charged three-dimensional host [CU4(CN)7]3− in which the CN-bridged framework Cu(I) atoms are all tetrahedral. A polyacene-like one-dimensional array of hexagons cornered by Cu(I) atoms and edged by -CN- linkages is arrayed in parallel to theb axis and stacked approximately along the c axis. The Cu(I) corner shared in the one-dimensional array extends an N-coordinate CN group along the c axis to a pair of unshared Cu(I) corners for which the C end behaves as a bifurcated ligand to build up the three-dimensional host structure. The cavity is composed of two networks of the hexagons at the top and bottom and pillared by six >CN- groups and accommodates a dimeric guest ofN-(2-aminoethyl)piperazinium cations protonated at each 4-N with the cations being hydrogen-bonded to each other through the 2-NH2 groups sharing another H+.
